As we get close to BETA testing you should know...

DLC 1942 introduces the concept of 'normal' and 'hard' paths.
Instead of the alternate paths simply being different approaches to similar content (Warsaw North/South), one option will always be harder than the other.

In 1942, Sevastopol Assault is the harder version, and can only be accessed by getting a Decisive Victory in Simferopol. Escape from Stalingrad/Tatskinaya is the 'Hard' Branch that is made at the end of the campaign, with Ruins of Stalingrad/Kotelnikovo being the 'normal' branch.

So if you feel you've been having too easy of a time with the campaign so far, I recommend taking these more difficult branches (they are always presented as options to choose). For those who are challenged enough or struggling, I recommend avoiding the 'hard' paths.

Good luck and have fun, looking forward to hearing your feedback as soon as we get the BETA rolling!

Thanks Kerensky! Should players expect any rewards from taking the hard paths? Like captured units not accessible on the normal path or special prestige awards or anything like that?

How many SE units in the '42 DLC?

Not played to a branching scenario yet, will the branches be marked somehow in the briefing, i.e. something like

o Escape from Stalingrad/Tatskinaya (Hard)

o Ruins of Stalingrad/Kotelnikovo (Normal)

btw, I like this idea very much, but I already can hear the complaints of struggling players "We want that scenario too"
